“First, you select those who are good at tracking.
There has to be something at Mount Hwanga.
We need people who are agile and quick.”

“There are those who are prepared for just that.”

“Hidden Truth.”

“Right.”

“And for the sake of one, there is Cheol Gun-song.”

“Ah.”

Hearing that name, the Earth Demon’s expression subtly changed.

Cheol Gun-song.

The one man at Peak Demon level, and the most inactive one among the subordinates of the Earth Demon.

“Because this is something which should never fail.
At any rate, we need to be prepared in case of being captured by the enemy.”

At that, the Earth Demon nodded.

The need to have someone strong for safety is good.

He slowly raised his hand, and shouted to those outside.

“Call for the vice-commander.”

It was then.

Seol-Hwi’s vision began to change.
And words appeared in front of him.

-First, a new combat method ‘Free’ will be introduced.
It is fixed as such.

-Second, if you choose a combat method other than the free system, the effect will disappear after a very short period of time (You have to wait half a day to use it again).
So be thorough.

-Third, from now on, even when you head back to your residence, you will not be able to save.
There will be several places you can however, so look for them.

And then they all vanished.

Good luck…>

And Seol-Hwi found himself in front of the door.

“Come in.”

The door opened, and Seol-Hwi stepped inside.

Elder Nok isn’t here?

It’s strange.

He was sitting in this room just a while back.

Well, I arrived as soon as the Earth Demon called for me.

If he thought about it, with the passage of time, this situation made more sense.

“You came? Take a seat.”

The Earth Demon smiled and looked at him, and Seol-Hwi did as he said.


“Have you eaten?”

“Just now.”

“Okay.”

The Earth Demon smiled slightly.

“I heard news from time to time.
Have your skills grown? I was told your subordinates improved too.”

“It is all thanks to the Earth Demon.
I am always grateful for the grace you showed me until now.”

“I am grateful for that too.”

While saying that, Seol-hwi pondered.

A mission?

A dangerous mission which could lead to death.

If he did something wrong, he could die without even learning anything.
A task which needed one to be prepared.

To be strong…

Still, Seol-Hwi wanted to take this mission.

Mount Hua.

That man killed him, and insulted the deaths of his subordinates.

Because of that, the thought of meeting them stirred something in Seol-Hwi’s heart.

“I have something to tell you…”

As soon as the Earth Demon said that, Seol-Hwi bowed his head.

“Ask anything.”

“Hm.
It is a dangerous mission.
And if you are not confident, you can leave now.”

“No.
I will do it.” Seol-Hwi said.
“In the past, I have been training to get stronger.
If you give me an order, I will make sure to do it.”

“If you think so, then, thank you.”

The Earth Demon’s voice was soft.
Thinking for a moment, he continued.

“One of my subordinates is missing.
It is unknown whether he is dead or taken as a prisoner.
I need to know what the situation is.”

“Where do I need to go?”

“You will find something at Mount Hwanga.”

Seol-Hwi nodded his head.
Everything up to this point, he already knew.

“Even if there are enemies, try to avoid fighting them.
The purpose is to look for my subordinate.”

“I understand.”

Seol-Hwi bowed his head and nodded.

“Can I ask a question?”

“…What is it?”


He decided to ask about something he was curious about.

“This sword that you handed to me.”

The Earth Demon nodded, looking at the sword at Seol-Hwi’s waist.

“Right.
I gave it to you.
What about it?”

“isn’t this a precious sword?”

“Precious… Yes, it is.”

“Then why give me such a thing?”

At that question, the Earth Demon smiled.

“What reason do you think?”

“I…”

“Seol-Hwi.”

He flinched.
He didn’t expect the Earth Demon to call his name.

“Do you know who I am?”

“…Uh?”

Seol-Hwi remembered what Jeokpa told him.

-Do you know of the Heavenly Killing Star?

Heavenly Killing Star.
As he pondered the meaning of it, the Earth Demon smiled.

“It looks like you’ve heard about it.
Well, I wasn’t trying to hide it.
It’s the Heavenly Killing Star.”

“…”

“Then I will ask you again.
Do you think those born under such a star will need any precious weapons?”

“Ah…”

It was then that Seol-Hwi realized.

A person who cannot win against time and will someday die using his body.

If he uses the Heavenly Killing Intent, he could kill anyone.

So there was no need for a weapon.
Rather, if it’s known that he had such a precious weapon in his hands, the people around him will be even warier.

“When do we leave?”

Seol-Hwi changed the topic.

He felt bad for some reason.

“Now.”

“…!”

When Seol-hwi looked up, the Earth Demon nodded and continued,

“Go right away.”
